Come taste the wine
|
Come lose yourself
|
Taste this time
|
But keep it well -
|
only love it all
|
With heart and head
|
For there is no drinking,
|
After your dead.
|
|
Dive and swim
|
In the amber ocean
|
See all that you can
|
In this new emotion -
|
And embrace it now
|
Before it's skin sheds
|
for there is no drinking,
|
After your dead.
|
|
Stand back to back
|
With yourself again
|
As your spin and reel
|
Like a new found friend,-
|
And have it all
|
With heart and hands-
|
For there is no love making,
|
After your dead.
|
|
And today is but a second
|
If tomorrow you may die
|
And empty pages glistening
|
In Eternity's lie
|
And time is buy an essensce
|
Encased upon the wall
|
That brings our day of reckoning-
|
Much closer to us all.
|
|
Light the candle
|
And burn it well
|
For only time knows
|
What it cannot yet tell,
|
Only love it all
|
With heart and head
|
For there is no drinking,
|
After your dead.
|

THERE'S NO DRINKING AFTER YOUR DEAD
